Lyrics:

Verse 1 (0:47)
Lying my bed I hear the clock tick and think of you
Caught up in circles confusion is nothing new
Flash backs, warm nights, Almost left behind
A suit case of memories Time after

Verse 2 (1:18)
Sometimes you'll picture me but I'm walking to far ahead
Your calling to me I can't hear what you've said
Then you'll say, go slow, I fall behind
The second hand unwinds,

Chorus (1:46)
If your lost you can look you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time

Verse 3 (2:11)
After my picture fades and darkness has turned to gray
Watching through the windows your wondering if I'm ok
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time

Chorus (2:40)
If your lost you can look you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time
If your lost you can look you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time; Time after time
Time after time

Interlude (3:23)

Then you'll say, go slow, I fall behind
The second hand unwinds,

Out Chorus (3:50)
If your lost you can look you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time
If your lost you can look you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time; Time after time
Time after time; Time after time

Hope this help and enjoy!!!
